First Look

Lifelike Decals from Japan turns out some colorful and nicely printed subjects. In this set, we have the first of a new series of Ki-27 Type 97 (Nate) fighters developed for the Hasegawa 1/72 scale kit. The decals are quite nicely done as you can see and provide some interesting subjects.
